asterisk users - Mar 2007 - Transfering not working - how to debug?

I cannot seem to get any transfers to work at all.  The console show I 
have #1 amd #2 set up for Blind and Attended Transfer, but when I hit 
these buttons on my handset nothing happens (other than I hear the dtmf 
tones on the other end of the line).

roo*CLI> show features
Builtin Feature           Default Current
---------------           ------- -------
Pickup                    *8      *8
Blind Transfer            #       #1
Attended Transfer                 #2
One Touch Monitor                 *1
Disconnect Call           *       *0


I am using the tT options in my dial calls (via a macro)

[macro-extension]
exten => s,1,Dial(${ARG1},20,tT)

You need to also include the t and/or T in your dial statement.

I had to fiddle with other things to make this work (needed for the 
Siemens CP4600 SIP/DECT phone)

I found that the default timeouts were a bit tight for my likings (and the 
people who I was testing this with!)

So in features.conf I have:

transferdigittimeout =  8       ; Number of seconds to wait between digits when
transfering a call
featuredigittimeout  = 999      ; Max time (ms) between digits for
                                 ; feature activation.  Default is 500

[featuremap]
blindxfer  => #1                ; Blind transfer
atxfer     => ##                ; Attended transfer
disconnect => #0                ; Disconnect

If it's still not working, are you sure the DTMF is being picked 
up/transmitted correctly? If it's in-band, is it a codec other than G711? 
(which might give you problems)
